[Artorius Horus T]

Shootout win or regulation loss,these line combos would suggest a loss,
hope i'm wrong and somehow...somehow we finns could win.

BTW didn't Belarus had more than just two NA born players,
wheres that d-man?.

Did you read the names on the Belarus roster and their line combos?

Regarding other Canadians, they were mercenaries and they aren't there when money isn't there anymore.

 

[Pan]

Vitali Trus is a backup for this game, not Karnaukhov. Vorobei and Karaban not to be dressed for the game, too.

 

[Finnswiss]

I hope the Finns start well in the tournament.
In the past years they begun the tournament sometimes with a bad game and a loss.

 

[duul]

Has Puljujarvi been playing that badly?

 

[FiLe]

Has Puljujarvi been playing that badly?

This far, yes he has. Part of it may have been jet lag, but he regardless didn't show anything in the preliminary games that warrants a stapled spot in the regular lineup.

But no doubt he'll get his chance later on. If they planned to have him as a nothing but an extra, they wouldn't have accreditated him until it becomes absolutely clear that there're no late arrivals from the playoffs.

 

[Plural]

Who's our captain?

 

[Patmac40]

Finland going with the "no defense" strategy. Bold move.

 

[Trilliann]

Who's our captain?

Kukkonen

 

[ozo]

Refreshing to see virtually native Belarussian team.

 

[mattihp]

Finland 3-1, but looking scary.

Korpisalo stands on his head, only goal conceded is into the empty net, own goal with a penalty on its way.

 

[tade]

Finland's fans are so pessimistic, lol.

 

[schmiedi]

this year all is possible
from a disaster to win a medal

 

[MMANumminen]

I hope Kostitsyns are drunk. 6-0 Finland

 

[JJTT]

Anybody have CMore? How is the quality, is it even close to 60fps, 720p?

Watching MTV3 on SD makes my eyes bleed.

 

[Matti_A]

I hope Kostitsyns are drunk. 6-0 Finland

Hmm...personally I think they will make mince meat out of this weak finnish squad

 

[DoubleGold]

Thank god for Aho.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Was Kasperi even invited? Had a good PO, thought he would be primed and ready to jump right into it.

 

[JJTT]

Was Kasperi even invited? Had a good PO, thought he would be primed and ready to jump right into it.

He got injured in AHL, I think. Would probably been invited if he was healthy.

And Marlies are still playing..

 

[SoundAndFury]

So overtime loss you say

Really nice to see Belarus trying to become more Belorussian but lets face it, this team is no match for Finland whatever team Finns ice.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

He got injured in AHL, I think. Would probably been invited if he was healthy.

Saw the Marlies GDT in Leaf section and tried to rush over here to edit haha.
Didn't realize he was injured for them either, damn.

 

[FinPanda]

Great start. Haven't seen them play this well all season. Belarus but we have played against Hungary this year too.

 

[grieves]

I have some residual ****-offedness whenever I see Hietanen shoot and not pass it to Laine.

 

[myzteriouz]

has Hietanen hit the net a single time in his years in the national team? I swear he could join the new Star Wars movie as a Stormtrooper, his aim is made for it
